Scientists involved in the growing ClimateGate scandal were cited in an October climate change report prepared for the White House and Congress.
Titled "Our Changing Planet," the 172-page document was created by The U.S. Global Change Research Program along with the Subcommittee on Global Change Research, and was submitted as a supplement to President Obama's fiscal 2010 budget.
As such, its contents not only impact future and current legislation involving global warming, but also how tax dollars are spent to research and address it.
The report began with an introduction by White House science czar John Holdren, a man directly involved in ClimateGate (h/t Right Pundits via NB reader George):
Members of Congress:
We herewith transmit a copy of Our Changing Planet: The U.S. Climate Change Science Program for Fiscal Year 2010. The report describes the activities and plans of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) established under the Global Change Research Act of 1990. The USGCRP coordinates and integrates scientific research on climate and global change supported by 13 participating departments and agencies of the U.S. government. [...]
The document describes a range of activities including examples of the USGCRP's contribution to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as progress in understanding Earth system components of the global climate system, how these components interact, and the processes and forces bringing about changes to the Earth system. [...]
USGCRP is committed to its mission to facilitate the creation and application of knowledge of the Earth's global environment though research, observations, decision support, and communication. We thank the participating agencies for their close cooperation, and we look forward to working with Congress in the continued development of this important program.
Respectfully,
Dr. John P. Holdren,
Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy
Assistant to the President for Science and Technology
The subsequent chapters addressed a number of topics involving climate, and concluded with "Chapter References and Endnotes" where the following names appeared:
- Phil Jones, Director of the British Climate Research Unit
- Gavin Schmidt, NASA climatologist and climate modeler
- Michael Mann, Penn State professor and author of the Hockey Stick graph
- Benjamin Santer, Lawrence Livermore Lab climate modeler
- Raymond Bradley, professor at University of Massachusetts, Amherst
- Kevin Trenberth, head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research
- Peter Stott, climate scientist at the UK Met office
- Tom Wigley, climate scientist at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
To be sure, that papers by these scientists would be cited in such a report is by no means shocking. They have been preparing high-profile documents about global warming for years including for the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In reality, it would have been shocking if this report DIDN'T include them.
However, what is disturbing is that America's news media haven't cross-referenced this high-profile report with all the names in the e-mail messages obtained from the computers of the University of East Anglia, and reported to the American people just how connected to the United States government these people are.
Or would that be too much like journalism?
Before you answer, consider how the press would be all over this report if the scandal involved policies advocated by leading Republicans that were not supported by the media, and the man in the White House was also a Republican.

Fri, 11/27/2009 - 15:57 ET by ricklailIt is a shame that this house of cards is falling at this time. This is a long holiday weekend. Nobody around like Rush, Sean, and Levine to really pick up the ball on this and run. We all know that the MSM is not going to do one darn thing about it. I know the story has been around for a week or so but this is the first link to the WH. It will be overshadowed next Monday when the Senate returns and the debate on Obamacare begins. Want t o bet on what the MSM will concentrate on.

Let not your heart be troubled!
You really don't think we're going to allow something like a holiday weekend to interfere with getting the truth out or making sure it's fully covered come Monday?
That's what the warmers and the media are expecting. Not going to happen.
This is a HUGE scandal that forever changes the global warming debate. Have you noticed that we haven't had any comments from our resident trolls on this subject? What does that tell you?
Ding, dong, AGW is dead! ns
Now, now...
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 16:19 ET by beauxdogNow, now, Neil... do I detect a hint of gloating?
Make that "well deserved" gloating.
On your comment about what the MSM would be doing if this was a Republican issue with a Republican president...
How about a little closer to home... what would the MSM be doing if some hacker found a cache of emails proving the "AGW Deniers" were conspiring to falsify data and more to prove their cause. Can we say "Pulitzer" (instead of jail time) for the hacker?

Gloating? Nah. This is an embarrassment for our nation. That I'm the right side of the disgrace doesn't make it any less embarrassing.
Well, it does a little, but it's still pathetic and points to many problems in our government, media, and educational facilities.
Not something to smile about.
Shame on all these people for making this happen, especially our elected officials. ns
Noel, they will prop it up
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 16:29 ET by motherbeltNoel, they will prop it up and put sunglasses on it, and drive it around the country like Bernie.
The Ministry of Information will insist that "there's no there, there" and that the story doesn't have legs (which, of course, they will see to). Next anyone who alludes to it will be called part of a "fringe" element. Thus begins the discrediting of the critics. They they will attack the hacker, find out that he hasn't paid his child support for five years, and claim that that makes him non credible.

Resident AGW trolls?
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 18:25 ET by JerHave you noticed that we haven't had any comments from our resident trolls on this subject? What does that tell you?
It tells me that the majority of our most informed resident AGW supporters--Giles Winterbourne, Tokyo Tom, meteor79, etc.--were either banned or stopped commenting a long time ago.
Jer
oh, that's right Jer
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 18:30 ET by Candance MooreBecause all I remember is three or four people who ever came on NB to preach AGW. The stonewalling silence from all of our lefties means nothing.....
Unless you plan to assert that this post counts as a lefty reply to the topic.
What IS the topic?
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 19:10 ET by JerWhat IS the topic? AGW? Climategate? The fact that both the liberal and conservative media have thus far failed to thoroughly cross-check names? The tedious and obligatory "if this had been a Republican" argument? The practice and propriety of embarrassing candor appearing in email exchanges among scientists?
I'll await further details. If it is clearly inexcusable and duplicitous conduct, undermines the AGW "cause", and/or proves damaging to the current administration, I have no problem in acknowledging same. I've done so in other areas in the past. But, I've never professed to be anything other than an "agnostic" when it comes to AGW. The point of my previous post was to merely note that a fair number of qualified "believers" are no longer around to provide more informed commentary.
Jer
Still in denial Jer?
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 19:43 ET by acumenThe tedious and obligatory "if this had been a Republican" argument?
"Argument?" What's to argue? I believe NB has offered ample data on that subject to declare a concensus....and without any need (or desire) to "trick" the data. Or were you just being argumentative?

Why don't you wait until something smacks you in the skull.
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 23:54 ET by JWFI'll await further details. If it is clearly inexcusable and duplicitous conduct..
What further details are you waiting for exactly? Another set of emails and documents?
They can't account for where the CO2 is going.
They can't guage how much SO2 is being produced.
They failed to see the decadal warming of the last 10 years even though the models and dire predictions are 22 years old.
They can't fully account for the sun, they will never be able to fully predict the sun's actions.
They discard evidence that does not go their way (tree rings after 1960 vs actual recorded temperatures)
They keep evidence that can't be trusted. (tree rings before 1960)
They won't release evidence for peer review.
They destroy evidence rather than release it. (missing mag tapes)
They collude to keep opposing views out of peer reviewed journals.
When they do release evidence, and it is used by others, the resultant graphs are completely different. (New Zealand of late)
They refuse to see that CO2 is a trailing indicator not leading.
But yea. You keep waiting for some more details there O.J. jurur #4. Maybe someting will turn up to finally convince you.

lucrative profits soon to be garnered from carbon trading. The result:
the establishment of a near-monopsony that is distorting climate science in favor of climate alarmism.

Since GangGreen (Obama and all his Commie, socialist, Progressive, Liberal, NEA gang) have been following Saul Alinsky's playbooks, which promote any means are justified to reach the end goal, they have no valid Scholtz-syndrome defense ("I know nu'ting!")
Obama certainly has had the SAME information you and I have been so easily 'gleening' from the internet. If he chooses to keep the blinders on, then he is acting improperly, for anyone in the office of the President of the USA. Acting improperly = the Misdemeanor, in "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" (referred to in Impeachment procedings, per the US Constitution.)
So, House of Representatives, it seems charges are in order AND Senate, once the House DOES IT'S DUTY, it'll be time for you to take the next step, which YOUR DUTY! And Congress will not do its duty, it will fall upon the States, then upon WE the PEOPLE to do OUR DUTY to defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
That's one direction things can go.

I found a blog THEHINZSIGHTREPORT by David Hinz.
He was interested in the climategate thingy so contacted the United Nations. Spokesperson says about 400 million per year since 2001 has been sent to the UN from developed nations to be spent on poor nations to fight climate change. However, a recent finding showed 2.7 billion is missing. A financial review was still unable to account for the money.
Perhaps Senator Inhofe could add to his investigation, how much of that 2.7 billion belonged to the US and when did it go missing. In politics, timing is everthing.

sorry but it's the entire 400 million that's missing
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 19:56 ET by lunaticcringeradiothat's the second facet of the fraud that is called climate change, ooooohhh all the money that is going to go and help impoverished countries. the truth of the matter is the money is going to line the pockets of warlords in impoverished countries for them to arm their armies to commit genocides in their borders. 400 million buys a lot of cheap machetes to hack up people in sudan. if anything global warming wealth redistribution is funding the murder of a lot of dark skined people. but that's not racist, because it's highly enlightened and educated progressives that are suckers enough to believe science fiction writings instead of walking outside and saying "damn it's a bit chilly you know"and they don't have the moral or intellectual integrity to admit they are wrong. but they are oh so educated, ask them, they'll tell you themselves. meanwhile they want everyones wealth to be pooled into goverment(to assuage their guilt of success and existence) and supposedly scattered around to the needy. you'd think after all these years of big governments doing that, there would be some dramatic astounding success stories about how government helped people, hhhhhhmmmmm i'm trying to remember some. detroit, nope, chicago, east la, south atlanta, new orleans, nah nothing. progressives will tell you those are americas failures because of capitalism getting in the way. more fraud.

Fri, 11/27/2009 - 20:25 ET by cajun2I agree with you on another item. This black president wants to be a global leader. He gave 100million to Indonesia.Why? Why is he not worried about the thousands of blacks starving and being butchered in Somalia,Sudan, and Ruwanda? He is soooo interested in global warming, ending the war in Afganistan, being appeaser and enabler to Iran, and is applauded by the fringe media. And right, they cant see the plight of blacks in this country is because of these so called progressives who are nothing but elitist snobs.
I was a social worker for 30 yrs and saw first hand the damage done to blacks in this country with this "entitlement" mentality, affirmative action , and lowered expectations in education. Liberals think they are mandated to help those in need due to "social justice" as their mantra. But I saw the harm done and it will take a strong black voice to change it and it will take generations.
If anyone else speaks of a change from "victim" to "empowered", they will be called racist. Some are trying, like Star Parker and Thomas Sowell. But what we need is not This Guy. He doesnt see himself helping blacks but rather stepping on their backs to climb to the peak of his world agenda. And I dont care what people call me, this man is not an African-American and he sure isn't American.

A Find Cast of Characters
Fri, 11/27/2009 - 20:39 ET by dboA couple of other significant names from climategate that also went into "creating the science" in this report.
Jonathan Overpeck- -His name appears on a mere 232 of the leaked e-mails and has been lead author of several IPCC reports. He is the person that said "We have to find a way to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period" back in the 1990's, just before Michael Mann miraculously got rid of the MWP to create his bogus hockey stick. For the record, in these leaked e-mails he says that he has no recollection saying this or that he might have been quoted out of context.
Tom Karl- Karl is the co-chair of this USGCRP document and was invovlved in 65 e-mails (I believe always as a recipient). Karl is a long time alarmist and pig at the trough courtesy of hard working Americans. He is the director of NOAA (the agency that puts thermometers beside air conditioner vents and BBQ's and claims this does not matter) and has been lead author of several IPCC reports. How unscrupulous is Karl? He presented himself for years as a Doctor despite the fact that his highest academic achievement is a Masters in Meteorology. At one time his own web site at NOAA listed him as Dr. Tom Karl, Phd. He was given an honorary doctorate in 2002 (not even in science). Karl has changed his title since he was called out on the indiscretion. Roger Pielke Sr. has documented numerous times how Karl out and out lies and excludes peer reviewed scientists that do not agree with his views. Pielke's latest documentation was just yesterday.
One name that is mentioned above but people are probably not familiar with is Ben Santer. He so classy that in one of the e-mails he threatened to "beat the crap" out of Patrick Michaels who is a Senior Fellow at the CEI and Cato Institute. Santer was aslo caught making unauthorized changes to IPCC SAR in 1995.
